#Sherlock's first case

[abstractfrog]

that doesn't sound right but i don't know enough about receiving valentines to dispute it

Ok catching up with letters from watson and blanched soldier makes so many of watson's narratives SO hilarious in retrospect líke

Watson's POV: So yeah! I'm always loyal to Holmes even though he doesn't care about me that much :/ but it's alright cause he has a High Intellect and therefore no room for human emotions. Honestly half of the time I'm not even able to keep up with him it's a wonder he sticks with me but I suppose it's part of his habits as a Genius. One time I was briefly sure he had feelings and it made my entire year

Holmes's POV, right off the bat: So I'm recording this case and today I learnt that writing is so hard? Watson is SO good at keeping the public interested. He's so good at so many things. He's smart and incredible and delightful and the ideal helpmate and he's too humble to ever talk about this!! >:( He's my old friend btw. And Biographer. One time he got married AND LEFT ME ALL ALONE IN THE RAIN O SO CRUELY AND SELFISHLY but i forgive him because that's literally the only bad thing he has ever done in his entire life <3 I miss him so much when he's not here :(( Have I mentioned he's my friend? Where was I going with this. Oh yeah. Case.

Watching The Empty House and oh my god Watson literally fell to the ground when he saw Holmes alive again THAT'S emotion and then LOOK AT HIS FACE he's so happy my heart 🥺🥺

Holmes, always keen to a dramatic touch. Like, my man's throwing ballet poses while he stretches just look at that

Also going from David Burke's To Edward Hardwick's Watson wasn't as shocking as I thought it'd be. He's just as charming as Burke.

Also also! I am SO drawing this frame:

"My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What may we deduce about his heart?" (A Scandal in Belgravia, S2E1) ask Mrs. Hudson. Oh he's not about thinking, not Sherlock. No, no, no. He's more emotional, isn't he? (The Lying Detective S4E2)

Mycroft you were supposed to the cleverer one. buddy you still miss facts in front of your face.

What's a Sherlock Holmes mystery you think you could have solved? Say it in the tags!

So I finally started playing the Great Ace Attorney game and I love it so far. Ryunosuke's adorable, KAZUMA is something else. (Those gazes!! Hot damn) I'm genuinely upset I haven't seen more fanart of him on my dash, because holy shit. I've seen so much fanart for the Sherlock Holmes guy-- sorry, Herlock Sholmes (?? I haven't run into him in-game yet. Still dueling Swan Lady Ms Brett), but I can't remember ever seeing any Kazuma art. Outrageous.

Anyway this is my one-minute warning before I attack and reblog everything in the tags.

Update: fineeeeee, I will attack the tags and reblog all the fanart after I finish the games 😭 darn you spoilers. 😔

me, entering tumblr after listening to the cardboard box pt2, seeing I am just one of us fools thinking john and sherlock would pretend to be a swingers couple for a case, and knowing we’ve found our place in the world to be fools together:

Hi John Watson, hope you find yourself doing good today!

Here's a simple question

Was it hard getting Sherlock on board with the whole making another blog on Tumblr plan?

Hello! Thanks for the ask! My day has been pretty well, no cases at the moment. To answer your question, it was quite hard getting Sherlock to join. It took quite a bit convincing, as he doesn’t like trying new things. But Sherlock was bored, and eventually begrudgingly agreed. I think he quite likes it, it gives him a chance to do something when he’s bored.

Which Egg would be the biggest fan of the Sherlock Holmes books (not tv shows or movies)?

So here’re my designs for Lucy (the little girl from the adventure of the yellow face) both at the time of the story and grown up a bit (probably 13-14).

It’s probably one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes stories, and although some parts didn’t age well (NO SHIT, did you think that a story written and taking place in Victorian England featuring non-white characters wouldn’t be insensitive?) I found the ending to be extremely heartwarming.

I like to imagine that she keeps up with Watson’s writings and dreams of becoming a detective like Holmes.

It seemed clear from how in the first episode Sherlock says he has pretty much every single possible mental disorder, including did, and then goes on to state he doesn't have ptsd, that the writers know nothing about DID or ever even thought about what it might be

exactly

it's understandable to not know a lot about a certain topic or disorder but if you're going to have your character bring it up and have it be a plot point (implied yea but still) in your episode you can at least do the bare minimum research to make sure you portray it correctly and don't lean into harmful stereotypes

you'd think that'd be common sense but ig not 🤷

Lestrade can't get Holmes released from jail, but they need to help the client avoid blackmail before deadline so Watson has to break in to the criminals' office by himself

Lestrade: "yes but breaking and entering... that’s a crime. Have you any idea what the penalty is for that?"

Holmes: "Yes if I remember correctly it's..."

Watson: "Thank you very much Holmes, I'd rather not know. Excuse me"

Watson has a bit of trouble picking locks!
